There is a new buzz in the cosmetic marketplace. It's mineral makeup! So what
is it and how is it different? Mineral makeup is just as the name suggests made
from minerals. These are naturally occurring minerals and inorganic pigments
from the earth (Metal ores and iron oxides) that are very finely crushed and
milled. They contain no oils, no preservatives, no fragrance, no talc and are
safe for even very sensitive skins.
In fact, they are so safe that a lot of Plastic Surgeons and Dermatologists are
recommending them to their patients. Not only is Mineral makeup not harmful for
the skin, it is actually good for it. The ingredients are so finely milled that
they will not clog your pores and because it is made from inorganic minerals it
will not gather moisture to feed bacteria therefore it is totally pure. It also
acts as an anti-inflammatory agent, helping to calm and soothe irritated skin.
What are the ingredients in Mineral Makeup?
TITANIUM DIOXIDE. This is a naturally occurring white mineral that is a
fantastic sunscreen. It is the second most highly reflective mineral. (the first
is DIAMOND) Therefore it not only acts a physical sunscreen but also helps
minimise the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
ZINC OXIDE This is again a natural sunscreen giving you a broad spectrum
UVA/UVB protection. But more than that it is also used for its wide range of
colours. This mineral allows foundations to be different shades, and is also
used in Eye shadows and Blushes.
IRON OXIDE This is a very opaque pigment again used for colouring cosmetics.
KAOLIN CLAY Used for it's oil absorbing qualities.
DIMETHICONE Made from silica that is a combination of minerals but largely
comprised of quartz. Dimethicone aids spreading, is transfer resistant and
imparts a remarkable smoothness and creaminess to the overall product. It also
improves coverage without adding heaviness. It is non-comedogenic and highly
water repellent.
MICA Is found in nature in a variety of colours and can be used to add shine
and sparkle to cosmetics.
How does it differ from regular makeup?
Mineral Makeup is generally applied with a brush or sponge in a downward motion
on a clean, moisturised skin. If you have very dry skin, the foundation at first
can appear a little powdery but all you have to do is gently mist your face with
water and all powderiness vanishes. For oily skins the foundation contains
natural oil absorbing ingredients, therefore you will find the foundation nice
and matte all through the day.
Regardless of your skin type, the foundation will give you a very natural,
fresh appearance all day long. The makeup is also water resistant, meaning it
will not run or smudge in humid weather or throughout your workout or if you get
caught in the rain. All you have to do is pat the water or perspiration off your
face, instead of rubbing it off.
Having said that, the makeup is not difficult to remove. Not containing any
waxes or oils all you have to do is use your regular, favourite makeup remover.
Over all, Mineral Makeup is worth buzzing about.
It is truly a major breakthrough in cosmetic skin care.
Once you have tried and perfected the use of Mineral Makeup you will not want
to go back to your old foundations. There are several great companies that
specialise in Mineral Makeup.

technology for the production of fuel. Biodiesel is made by converting an
organic matter, such as vegetable oil or even algae into diesel. It is a simple
process, but fascinating at the same time because of the impact biodiesel could
have, not only on the economy but on the environment as well.Because this is
such a new technology, the production of biodiesel is being heavily researched.
Recently an interesting study was done on biodiesel fuel that was produced from
soybean soapstock. Soapstock is a byproduct of vegetable oil refining. Soapstock
is the result of using industrial substances to get edible oil from seeds. These
seeds include cotton or sunflower of safflower. It is an amber-colored, rather
sticky substance, but it is produced in abundance every single year.Researchers
have been trying to see how well soapstock and biodiesel will hold up to
conventional biodiesel. Preliminary findings are encouraging. It has been found
that producing biodiesel fuel from soybean soapstock is comparable to existing
biodiesel in engine performance, composition and emissions.If research in
soapstock and biodiesel continues to show such favorable findings that would
mean that the millions of pounds of soapstock that is produced each year can
begin to be used to produce biodiesel fuel. Two industries that currently this
soapstock are animal feed producers and soapmakers. In some states soybean oil
soapstock is used on gravel roads is used to control dust. This is popular with
the states because soybean oil soapstock is biodegradable and friendly to the
environment. However, if another use is found for it, such as biodiesel, there
is plenty to go around.It is encouraging that there are other products, such as
hair gel are being considered for using up all this soapstock. Keep a watch on
the growth of this technology. Not only for the obvious environmental benefits,
but these may prove to be excellent investment opportunities for those so
inclined.Go to http://www.biodieselfuelalternative.com, where you will easily
